Mentoring Matters

 

 

All people need is a little help, a little hope,
and someone who believes in them 

 

   Community Skillsbank supports and encourages mentoring as a positive effective form of volunteering. Where skills or knowledge are needed in a community organisation, (perhaps a volunteer, already in a role, who would benefit from up-skilling) there is often the solution to be found locally. A person with the required skill, willing to share it with the organisation or individual in need, becomes a short term volunteer and a mentor.

Skillsbank will support and carefully match the mentor with the need, or alternatively, the need with the mentor.

Benefits of Mentoring

Invitation to men
 

Have you heard about our men's mentor groups?

For some time now, groups of men have been getting together to look after their own well-being. These groups are for men who want to move forward with their lives, no matter what challenges they face.

There is no fee for attending, just a commitment to participate.
